2004 Honda Jazz 1.3L Petrol · FP54 PXM

The most recent MOT on 13 October 2025 recorded a pass at 153 003 miles, yet the test listed several advisories: a minor exhaust leak (6.1.2 (a)), worn front lower suspension arm pins/bushes (5.3.4 (a)(i)), a rear brake pipe corroded and covered in grease (1.1.11 (c)), and front brake discs showing wear and pitting (1.1.14 (a)(ii)). The history shows that suspension and brake issues have been present since at least 2017, with occasional failures in 2019‑2020. The pattern indicates a stable but gradually worsening condition, as the same fault types recur without clear resolution. Mileage has risen from 70 440 miles in December 2014 to 153 003 miles in October 2025, an average increase of roughly 6 900 miles per year, which is typical for a 22‑year‑old vehicle. Test intervals have been consistent, with annual checks from 2014 through 2025, though the gap between the 2024 test (143 868 miles) and the 2025 test is just over a year. The record is dense, showing no large mileage jumps or unexplained gaps. A prospective buyer should inspect the front suspension arm pins and bushes for excessive movement, test the rear brake pipe for corrosion and proper routing, verify front brake disc condition and pad thickness, confirm parking brake efficiency, check wheel bearing play on the near side front, and examine the underbody for rust. The exhaust leak and registration plate lamp should also be repaired, and wiper blades replaced as they have failed repeatedly.
